Buffalo/Rochester Bus to NY State of the State Rally, Albany, NYUniversity at Buffalo Main St. Park & Ride

On January 8, concerned citizens from across the state of New York — from Long Island to Buffalo — will converge in Albany. We'll be gathering outside of Governor Cuomo's State of the State Address to send him a strong message: Ban Fracking Now!

Governor Cuomo recently said that he will make a decision on fracking by the time elections happen in November. Now is the time to show Gov. Cuomo what science dictates: that fracking is dangerous and harmful, and that the movement to keep New York frack-free is unparalleled and growing every day.

With the Governor starting his reelection campaign soon, we need to make it clear that if he wants our support, he must protect New Yorkers' health from fracking.

We know that fracktivists are dedicated, hardy souls. But we want to assure you that this rally is entirely indoors. There will also be a bathroom on the bus.
